Over the next few weeks you will see some big changes and enhancements to the room, but I can tell ya's what.. having a room to make music in again is great. Sound's pretty tight in here, can only but imagine what it will be like once i add the rear absorber wall, cloud, diffusion on the side walls.
Props out to Kendale for much of his advice. Also thanks to everyone here who has shared so much eternal wisdom.
And to think 6 months ago I knew nothing about any of this stuff...
